Workman's comp... my mom (a physio) once treated a patient who was injured at work. She worked as a stripper, so the Occupational therapist had to do a workplace assessment in order to determine what level of function the woman would require to return to work. Picture a petite, slightly chubby middle aged woman sitting in a night club taking notes.

As a female techie, I should probably be offended, but all I can think of is feeding this line to Jon Stewart and letting him run with it .... I think he'd go somewhere with "download" and that barely suppressed smirk.

And anyway, you're exonerated, because she handed that one to you, on a platter, fair and square.

Perhaps I am reading it incorrectly, but Dr. Grumpy's question was perfectly reasonable. Miss Perky gave out with the (apparent)flip answer. She could have been implying that she handled the software, ie. the membership rolls, as well as putting away the weights(hardware). The headline is the main gag, for me at least.Perhaps I am being too literal today after a long session of proofreading a long document telling in great detail how to put each section of a large assembly together, with only minor deviations between each section.Six pages of fine text per section, lots of sections, and I begin to think that I have carpal tunnel in my eyes...
